Title: So how's the food at In-And-Out Burger?

Double cheeseburger is what you want, fries and coke.
Maybe smaller than Carl's super star.
Good honest Burger with great service.
When my daughter flies in from Seattle it's our first stop no negotiations.

I refuse to eat most anything at McD except for the fries. ;)  They do make good fries.    My old apt had a Wendy's and a McD if fairly close proximity.  When I was still a fast-food eater, I'd go get my burger at Wendy's  then swing by McD on the way back and get a large fries.   :rofl

They were even better back when they used tallow instead of the toxic industrial seed oils they use now.

Don't barf, but I got hooked on a Korean Fusion little restaurant near where I used to live.

They made a Cheese burger topped with Kimchi and a fried egg in addition to meat patty.  OMG, sounds horrible but it was insanely good.

It was good, but I had better burgers from an A&W during the same trip to California.

Cooler merch from the In-N-Out, though.

I try hard not to eat too much fast food. I have to be really hungry, really busy, and not have time for anything else. Whataburger moved in to TN a year or so ago, haven't been yet. I think the last couple of times I had fast food, it was Arby's. Every so often, I have Krystal, to toughen up my system. Haven't had Hardees in a while. Chick-fil-A maybe a couple times in a year. Wendy's maybe a couple of times, my current wife worked there when we met. Honestly, I don't care to eat out, the cost is absurd, and the quality mediocre. And most often, that's being extremely generous. Most everyone at work eats out every day. That's about $75 a week, 45-48 weeks a year. That's insane to me. I eat leftovers, I often go 3-4 months without going out for lunch. I can't really remember the last time I went out to eat, and was impressed and felt like I got a good deal. The best has been when we go to the PRI Show in Indy, we go to three or four places there, St. Elmo's, which is in the top five for steak houses nation wide, even that is not what it once was, we go there as much because I proposed to her there in 2017 as for the food, although the service is excellent, but it is over $200 for two people. A German restaurant the name of which escapes me, and an Italian restaurant. The fourth is a pub called Lochmiller's (sp?).

In 'n Out is one of my favorites in the group of national fast-food burger chains.

2.  In 'n Out
3.  Wendy's
4.  Culver's

I have not had a fast food burger I would call good in years. Not a single one. And some of the stuff from "higher tier" restaurants has been little better.


I guess expecting it to be relatively moist, thicker than a dime, larger in diameter than a quarter, and taste like beef is setting the bar too high. The last time we went to Steak and Shake here, I was really annoyed by how bad it was. Wendy's was little better, Hardees was about equal.

I just saw a test on McDonald's; it looks just as fresh on day 31 as it does on day 1. It's not food.

My favorite is a Wendy's triple wrapped in lettuce. Wendy's cheese does not contain seed oil. I don't eat fries!!

My second favorite is a Culver's triple on a bed of lettuce. I get it with Cheddar Cheese instead of American. Their American Cheese has seed oil.

I'm not a fan of fast food lettuce. It is known for all sorts of biological pathogens. The "field hands" that pick the stuff relieve themselves in the fields, right where the food is. Utterly unsanitary, so there's e. coli, etc.

Yeah, cheese most places is full of all sorts of oils, they don't "go bad" like real dairy products. Yeah, McDonalds "looks fresh" and there's "ice cream" that doesn't melt. What passes for food is horrifying.

I'm old enough to remember when food actually had food in it, and tasted like..... food. Most "food" tastes like... nothing, save all the salt and sugar in it. People in general are so utterly stupid that "salty" or "sweet" is all they know for "flavor". They have no idea at all what real food tastes like. So they're fed engineered and processed "food" full of salt and sugar. And most of them are obese, hypertensive, borderline diabetic, and otherwise diseased.

Imagine what medical advances could do for health and longevity if people weren't eating processed and engineered garbage, and sitting on their massive flabby glutes, watching TV, social media, and sports.

Yeah, processed "vegetable" oil is "healthier" than beef tallow. About like margarine is "healthier" than butter. Most people don't know margarine (and by extension many other butter "substitutes") was originally developed to fatten turkeys.

The last time I had McDonald's was while we were vacationing in France back in 2004. I saw a McDonald's right on the beach along the Promenade Des Anglais in Nice so I thought it'd be interesting to see if it tasted the same as a McDonald's here in the states. While being wildly more expensive, sure enough it tasted exactly the same. They have the process of processing their food down to a science. I think there's more than a preponderance of evidence that the process is bad for humans.....tastes really good though. I miss those fries as I ate 3 out 9 cat lives worth of those as a kid.

In-n-Out: decent burgers but not worth the hype or long lines. I like that they'll cater to folks who don't want the carbs though. Their "Flying Dutchman" is a double with cheese sans all the other stuff including the buns. The patties are the 'buns' sandwiching the cheese. They'll even grill the patties with mustard if you want- which makes them taste better adding a bit of umami. I have noticed however that In-n-Outs in California taste better in their home state of California than they do in other states. Could be just me though.

I prefer a Wendy's double with just cheese for some reason.
 I haven't tried any of the other places mentioned here.
I used to like Whoppers with cheese the best as a kid. I liked Dairy Queen shakes the most and of course McDonald's fries. I've always wanted to open a burger joint that somehow sold Whoppers with cheese along with McDonald's fries finished off with Dairy Queen shakes. I'd call it "The Trifecta." I'd be a godzillionaire.

About 40 years ago, when I was living in the LA area, Jack in the Box tacos were these weird things.  Meat paste and some cheese, in lump, in the middle of a deep-fried corn tortilla.  So it was kind of like a big crispy Chinese dumpling.  My brother in law would say "paste and cheese only, dude!"

And Xanax, yes, I used to eat a lot of Del Taco tacos back when I lived in LA.  However, I've had Del Taco in more recent times, and the tacos are way different.  40 years ago, I could get a sack of about 10 Del Taco tacos for about $5.  That was my dinner at least once a week.

That's how I remember them from the 80's and 90's. Dirt cheap and the beef had the crumbly texture of ground beef rather than the paste texture of Taco Bell. I won't denigrate the taste of Taco Bell products but I gotta draw the line at texture. I'll even cut some slack on texture however. I used to love (and probably still do) the pump chili at 7-11. It was the stuff you'd pump onto your nachos before you topped them off with a gallon of pump cheese at the all-time greatest convenience store from the Southland Corporation. It was always lava hot and had the perfect texture and consistency to ably coat most if not all the chips you overstuffed your tray with. In combo with that cheese product, it was sublime.

Yep, exactly how it was for me.  In LA area in 80's and 90's, Del Taco seemed like ground beef, tasted good to me, and Taco Bell seemed like unappealing paste.  So, Del Taco was way better, and a lot cheaper.

In more-recent times, though, Del Taco changed.  It's tacos taste more like Naugles (which they merged with in the late 80's) or Taco Time -- not like what they were like.  Still ground beef like, but not seasoned the same way and nowhere near as good a deal.  I don't like them that much now.

And in the meantime, Taco Bell's "meat" is not like paste anymore.  Maybe because of the cellulose they now add.

I am literally laughing at this. Not that the meat at Taco Bell beef tastes better because of sawdust but the fact there are scientists hired to look into this and formulate such improvements. These scientists should be burning calories on cancer research or cold fission rather than this...I'd like to imagine anyways. I guess scientific research follows the money more than the desire for supporting a Theory of Everything or something similar. A scientist can't live on methyl cellulose and HFCS alone I suppose.

I just Google mapped the closest Del Taco to me and it's in Hazel Dell, Washington-which isn't a long drive. I might have to go do a Pepsi challenge between them and Taco Bell soon.

There are probably Taco Times near you, too.  I felt like Del Taco now is like Taco Time.  Not horrible (higher quality meat than old Del Taco, actually), but I just don't dig them.  Definitely not the Del Taco of old.

In Idaho we had a Del Taco around the corner. I loved their Taco Del Grandes, or something that should have been called that. We hadn't been in a while but went and I saw naught of that favorite of mine on the drive thru menu. I asked the dietician on the far end of the speaker if they still had that. I should have known better.
